Ordinary Service

The additional methods of ordinary service depend on whether or not the person has given an address for service. Particularly for the initial documents served in a dispute, a party may not have provided an address for service to the Court.

If the person has given an address for service

In this situation, you can serve documents by:

putting the documents in a sealed envelope addressed to the person and:

delivering them to the address, or

posting them to the address, or

sending the documents to a fax number or email address provided as an address for service.

If the person has not given an address for service

In this situation, you can serve documents by:

putting the documents in a sealed envelope addressed to the person and:

delivering them to the person's last known address or place of business, or

posting them to the person's last known address or place of business, or

handing the documents to the person.

Ordinary service on a party's lawyer

If a lawyer representing the person agrees to accept service of the document, you can send it to the lawyer.
